TBS GRANGE ADVANCE.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 31, 1876.
B. H. YOUN3, Publisher Editor.
—A very candid and sagacious politi
cal correspondent of the New York
Times, whose speciality is that of writ
ing up the political campaign as it is
developed by the conventions of various
states, and who attended the Ohio dem
ocratic convention, very emphaticlly
denies the extensively circulated state
ment, that the majority of the Ohio
democrats are in favor oi hard money,
but were out-generalled in the late con
vention by the inflationists. On the con
trary, he affirms that the inflationists
did not'show their real strength at the
Columbus convention, and that the 300
hard money votes, a little It^ss than half
the ballots cast, were a fictitious
strength created for the occasion, and in
many instances against the sentiment
of the constituency claimed to be repre
sented. Mr. John G. Tompson, a
friend of Senator Thurman, who knew
every politician in Ohio, and is a splen
did organizer, had been shaping things
for nearly a year, and had quietly man
aged to get Thurman delegates in some
of the strongest inflation counties, seized
the organization of the convention, and
would have had their own way but for
Ewing's eloquent appeal to their pas
sions, with the communist cry, of "more
money and less misery," when they
went back to the faith that was in them
and in those whom they were repre
senting. The Times' correspondent af
firms that there is but one explanation
of the defeat of Thurman, and that it is
three-fourths of the democratic party of
Ohio are firm and unyielding adherents
to inflation heresy.—Pioneer Press.
—This is the case all over the
country. The people think earnest
ly and feel the heavy oppression of
our existing financial system and are
clamoring for a change that will af
ford relief. The "greenback here
sy," as our contemporary calls it,
appeals to their reason and sense of
justice and they are not slow to dis
cover that its adoption will not only
bring the relief desired, but obviate
hereafter those financial depressions
which always have and always will
result from a credit system ficti
tiously based upon metallic curren
cy.
The material of which the curren
cy is made is a matter of but little
moment, as the experience of the
world fully proves. There needs to
be a sufficiency of it to supply the
demand, and the stamp or design
upon it, requires to be affixed by
authority of government. The only
reason why a costly material is bet
ter than a cheap one is that, in that
case, counterfeiting is not so profit
able nor likely to be resorted to.
But counterfeiting of greenbacks
and bank notes may be and is pre
vented by proper police regulations,
and, therefore, that objection is not
tenable. The idea that gold and
silver metals have a fixed and un
chanegable value is sheer nonsense.
They are subject to the same laws
of supply and demand which govern
the commodities, and the intention
of the governments issuing gold and
silver money always is that the
quantity of metal in the coin shall
be of less value than that fixed to
the coin.
—The Grange Advance would like
to know why the Hon. J. A. Thacher
will not receive the republican nomina
tion for congress in this district, espe
cially as the Gazette has pronounced
him to be an excellent man. The only
answer is that he will not have votes
enough. From present appearances
the convention will be controlled in the
interest of the Hon. H. B. Strait,
through the potent influence of the
federal patronage, and his re-nomina
tion seems to be a foregone conclusion.
—Hastings Gazette.
And, in that case, what will the
Gazette do? and what course ought
the people to pursue? Ought the
press to support and the people
vote for a man who is avowedly
placed in nomination by the "potent
influence of the federal patronage"?
It seems to us, that to do thus will
be to outrage the fundamental prin
ciple on which our institutions are
founded and give the lie to the oft
reiterated assertion that this is a
free country and governed by the
people. If the people of this dis
trict do their duty to their God,
their families and their country,
they will not allow the "potent influ
ences of the federal patronage" to
dictate their nominees, but will
select their own men. If Mr. Strait
is the man they want, let them nom
inate him, but if they want Mr.
Thacher, or anybody else, let them
assert their sovereignty and place
their man in nomination. It de
pends upon the people to nominate
and elect whom they please, and'
they can easily do so if they will
attend to their business. But if
they leave this duty iox the "potent
influence of federal patronage" to
manage, it will, no doubt, manage
it in its own interest, and the blame
will rest upon the shoulders of the
people who neglect their duty.
—It is not true, as his friends
claim, that the charges against Mr.
Blaine are refuted by the evidence
before the congressional committee.
The only ground for this statement
is that some of the witnesses, who
were supposed to have positive
knowledge of his corrupt transac
tions in Arkansas railroad bonds,
have sworn that they did not possess
such knowledge. The truth is, that
the evidence already taken before
the committee is ample to justify
the suspicion that Mr. Blaine is
guilty of wrong-doing, and under the
circumstances the republican con
vention cannot nominate him with
out being guilty of an inexcusable
outrage of popular sentiment. There
is no good reason whatever for nom
inating him. A score of celebrated
republicans have as much claim up
on the party as he has, are just as
competent to fill the presidential
chair, equally worthy of considera
tion in every respect, and more
available. Why, then, take a man
who is justly suspected of corrupt
practices? The only excuse is that
the trading and time-serving politi
cians of the party want Blaine, be
cause they believe they can use
him, and to them personal success
and personal safety are matters of
greater moment than party victory
or the welfare of the country. The
true friends of the republican party
and the country stand opposed to
Mr. Blaine.
Mits. STANTON deals in English.
Why. should she not use it correctly?
She is not a professional cook, wash
woman or housekeeper she is a profes
sional word-user—and we suggest that
in a carefully prepared lecture it is not
fair to pronounce such words as "di
plomatic," "heightened" and "often,"
because there are no such words in the
language. Then the following sentenc
es will not bear analysis: A man
should not vote for one whom he knows
is not worthy." Every one of us
know a person will do that indirectly
which they would not do directly."
School children can easily detect the
faults in such phrases as those expen
sive kind of dresses," and "would dare
to have done it," the meaning being
would dare to do it. Mrs. ctanton
charged for making these blunders we
correct them for nothing.—Republican.
We have no doubt that Mrs. Stan
ton will abandon the lecture field
when she reads the above criticism.
It will, no doubt, make her feel aw
fully. She has escaped criticism
heretofore for the reason, perhaps,
that she has never before addressed
so learned and an observant an aud
itor as our neighbor.
—The Kansas democratic con
vention pronounced emphatically
against the national bank swindle
and in favor of greenback currency,
interconvertible with low interest
bearing bonds. Will the republi
cans, in their foolish following of the
New York bankers and politicians,
allow the democrats to gather the
votes of the financial reform advo
cates? The greenback scheme was
originally a republican measure and
was violently opposed by the demo
cratic leaders, who always have been
and are yet the advocates of metal
lic currency. Why should republi
cans discard a measure now which
they so zealously defended thirteen
years ago?
—We believe now that success is im
possible without New York, and we
are going to get New York by nominat
ing Tilden. We don't like him as well
as a Western man, but that is not the
thing. We fear a Western man cannot
carry New York or any other Eastern
State, so we drop the West and go for
Tilden.—Cincinnati Commercial.
No matter what becomes of the
country, the party success must be
attended to first, last and all the
time.

lant First Regiment of Minnesota
